The stole belted over the parka is really something, man.
When the Senators traded Gufavsson, his Ottawa career total was 79 goals allowed on 77.7xG faced, a net shot danger of +1.7%. He's improved since then, but even if they'd gotten that (v. ordinary) level of goaltending this season they'd be thirty goals to the good of where they are.

One time reading Barendregt in a cafeteria I thought too hard about alpha-conversion and had an essentially religious experience that I'd rather not repeat. Like I imagine it feels like to be Borges.

Shouldn't use 'Achilles heel' to mean 'salient weakness'. If one thing is your Achilles heel, that means that you are basically perfect at every other thing. If you have several weaknesses of which one is worst you don't have an Achilles heel. You are not Achilles. You are Bob.

TSN broadcast just described the Blue Jackets penalty killing as their achilles heel and I must protest.
